Stand with Juan Cristobal Flores Local Opera Singer 

On Friday, December 26, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Juan Cristobal Flores, a beloved local opera singer and University of Arizona student, was critically injured during a double shooting at a Goodwill donation center in Tucson, where he is working full-time.

Juan Cristobal is now in critical condition at a local hospital, fighting for his life. Known in the Tucson arts community for his powerful voice and gentle spirit, Juan Cristobal is a dedicated opera singer who had already performed with Arizona Opera and the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. Music is not just something he studied — it is who he is. Friends, mentors, and fellow musicians describe him as extraordinarily talented, disciplined, and kind, with a future full of promise.

This sudden, senseless act of violence has devastated his family and shaken our local arts and faith communities.

As Juan Cristobal remains hospitalized, his loved ones are facing overwhelming medical expenses, long-term recovery costs, and the emotional toll of being at his bedside day and night.

We are asking our community to come together to support Juan Cristobal and his family during this unimaginable time.

Every donation — no matter the size — will go directly toward medical care, ongoing treatment, and essential living expenses as he fights to survive.

If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page. Awareness and community support

truly matter.

Juan Cristobal has spent his life lifting others through music. Now, he needs our voices, our

prayers, and our help.

Thank you for standing with Juan Cristobal Flores.

-The Flores Family

Edit: 

With profound sorrow and faith, we share that Juan Cristobal Fores has gone to rest in God's eternal embrace. Juan fought courageously for his life after being shot while working at a Goodwill donation center. He was a gifted opera singer, a servant-hearted soul, and a beloved son, cousin, and friend whose light touched so many. His beautiful voice, which brought hope and grace to countless hearts, was silenced by crime— but his spirit will never be silenced. Though our hearts are broken, we trust that Juan is now at peace, surrounded by divine love. We are deeply grateful to everyone who prayed, showed up, and stood with us. We need the continued support of our community to ensure justice is served. We will not rest until that day comes. January 1, 2026 Tucson, Arizona

All donations will go to Juan’s parents, Alma & Reyes Flores, to help their pain and suffering and any future costs this tragedy has caused.
